Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I have a car project I will be starting on in the future but I'm trying to get everything squared away.

I've chosen the LS3 engine as my powerplant and plan to build it by hand from the block up. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get my hand on a schematic of the engine? I don't know this engine in my head completely so I don't want to miss anything. I've heard someone say try looking in Barnes and Nobles book store in the automotive but I was also looking for a complete engine layout even if it is in parts. I can't imagine the engine being too much but I don't want to miss out on a washer or bearing that's usually connected on the end of a shaft.

Thanks for the help

John,

We do offer several LS engine reference books on swaps, power adders and big cubic inch builds.

He wants to assemble his first LS engine. I would consider this as the right forum.

I'd be interested if one was there for the 3. Little differences make all the difference. Assembled my last engine just using the Factory Service Manual, since it had every part, torque, and assembly instructions. Would love if the 3 had something. The books get you close, but the little differences is where parts get forgotten or torqued wrong. :\

Something like this.

Yeah I was looking for the torque specifications and what not. All these references are great so far though.
